An urgent health warning has been issued after an E.coli outbreak was linked to a “nationally distributed food item”.
An unspecified number of people are being treated in hospital due to the outbreak, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has said.
The UKHSA said testing indicates that most of the 113 cases reported in the UK are “part of a single outbreak” but did not give more details about the “food item” thought to be responsible.
The cases range in age from two years old to 79, with the majority of the infections in young adults.
